IT IS yet to be widely released in Australia but Facebook already is in hot water over the planned unveiling of its "Graph Search".

The new element for the social networking giant allows users to find information through friends, rather than relying on Google.

For example, they might search "Friends in Brisbane who like country music".

A blog website titled "Actual Graph Searches" has now sprung up highlighting its hilarious, bizarre and potentially deadly uses In one of two examples, creator Tom Scott finds "Islamic men interested in men who live in Tehran, Iran".

Homosexuality is illegal in Iran, potentially punishable by flogging or even execution.

With another, he finds "Family members of people who live in China and like (outlawed political activists) Falun Gong".

His searches also found examples of Jewish women who enjoy bacon, companies with the most staff who claim they are racist and potentially unfaithful spouses.

Earlier this week, Australian Federal Police and Queensland Police Service warned of inherent dangers built into graph search.
